Rovers sign new midfielder from Spain.....

[Old Popsider]

To the Keepmoat via Glenn Hoddle Academy and Forest Green. mmmmmmmmm. Interesting conundrum that one. Perhaps he'll turn out to be one of Sean's unknown diamonds findings. Hope so. Be nice to see a bit of height in the squad.

For BobG, Osasuna is from Pamplona, one of the several Basque sides alongside Atletico Bilbao, Racing Santander and Real Sociedad.

Thank you Hounslow! I never knew that.

Hope his signing works out for us....for 6 months. What a daft contract! If he's any good (which he should be shouldn't he, seeing as we've signed him!), then why are we only having him for 6 months?? It's like us bringing him over here, showing him off, then letting him go for nothing.

Is this a terrible piece of business, or is it showing the power of the football agents in contract negotations?

Not being sarky. I just don't know. Obviously the big clubs - Barelona, Real, Valencia few years back - would be fine in the Prem. But I don't know how the rest would do. What about Atletico for example? Osasuna? (Where is that anyway?!)

I'm pretty sure that Atletico with Sergio Aguero and chums would be a bit strong for this division!
